Reykjavik port Iceland

This is my second visit to Reykjavik, and I'm afraid my opinion is still the same, the people are mostly friendly, but the city itself is very austere, dour and dull.
It may have plenty of exciting Viking history but except for the odd Leif Ericsson statue there is not much to show for it.
A lot of the buildings in downtown are covered in painted corrugated iron, and date from the 1920s.
Even the main cathedral/church, I'm not sure which it is, is very modern and uninspiring.
The only colourful thing we found was a skateboard park that had brilliant graffiti.
On fact imho there's not a lot about the city to make you fall in love with the place.
Also both times I've been here the weather has been dull, overcast and drizzly, so that won't have helped.
So Reykjavik has been ticked off the list, but I don't think I'll be returning, not unless the cruise was a real giveaway price lol.Read more
